Travel across the world and back in time to meet the incredible
creatures that once stalked our planet, including dinosaurs, flying
reptiles and marine reptiles. Whether big, small, fast, slow,
fearsome or friendly, you'll find it here. Divided into chapters
focused on the seven continents and oceans, we explore the most
exciting dinosaurs with each given their own page or spread that
reveals and illustrates their most fascinating features. Find out
about the T-Rex and Triceratops of North America, the giant
sauropods of South America, the marine reptiles of Europe, the
feathered, bird-like dinosaurs of Asia and more. Other topics
covered include the history of dinosaur research: how these
'terrible lizards' were first identified in the early 19th century,
the Bone Wars of the late 19th century when collectors battled to
unearth the best remains, and how interpretations of what dinosaurs
actually looked like have changed over the years, from slow-moving
lizard like creatures to fast-moving feathered fiends. Stunning
illustrations and photography combine with fascinating facts based
on the latest research to provide kids with a comprehensive
introduction to dinosaurs. It's going to be roarsome! About Lonely
